OK, I’m in for a ‘case’; yes I’m selling my Angora Rabbits to fund this purchase, but what can I do…darn you WineDavid…coup de grace…I’m out!!! charismatic-gurgling-group
@Allieroon
I recently made a comment about it here – that pic is from 2018. An interesting addition is that over Thanksgiving (as mentioned in the linked thread) I passed it along to my oldest daughter for use at my granddaughter’s upcoming wedding. Another daughter brought along a similar looking bottle of wine to our Thanksgiving gathering.
I still need to finish drinking the magnums from last year, but I like these surprises for getting me something I wouldn’t otherwise get a chance to try.
How much more are you saving by buying a full case?
(Note: tax and shipping are not included in savings calculations.)
Mystery Magnum Plus - $15 = 8.33%
Magnums are historically overpriced and generally it’s cheaper to just buy two 750ml bottles of the same wine, so at this price point you are getting a recipe for disappointment,
@canonizer@MitchBenson It’s true that they are seldom “bargains.” Sometimes the wine inside is a special or limited vintage. Also it’s often said that the wine inside stores and ages better. And more festive to bring to a holiday gathering or wedding.
@canonizer I probably call it as it really is, overpriced.
Magnums tend to be 50-300% more expensive than two 740ml bottles of the same wine. That’s not paying a premium, it’s getting a shellacking. They can claim many magnums are hand filled, the bottles are heavier so more expensive, etc. Still over priced.
@pmarin Last year WD resurrected the defunct Underground Cellars. That tends to be higher end stuff, so I was wondering if some of those bottles made it into this offer.
@winecaseaholic In fact, last month (when 9 cases of Casemates/Last Bottle Summer hold ended) I was gone for almost three weeks…and I pulled off the following (combo of UPS & FedEx)…
Vacation hold for the max 7 days
During the second attempt to deliver, had it redirected to the closest UPS Store for an additional 7 days (took two days to get redirected there)

Is this thing on?
@jrbw3 Taps are for beer, generally. These are wines.

any experiences with this?
ya, we badly need some rattage!

I’ve seen Magnum condoms but not vino. Is this a new thing?
@SputnikHQ you should see my double mag!
A Syrah signed by SH
@SputnikHQ fyi…
@Allieroon @SputnikHQ You should see the Salmanazar I just passed on to my daughter to use at her daughter’s wedding.
@Mark_L @SputnikHQ Whoa…whaaaaaat, that’s sooo cool! I’ve only ever seen those in wineries and restaurants. What wine was it?
I won a Jeroboam of Argentine Reserve Malbec at a Greek Orthodox concert/fundraiser in Seattle six years ago…not sure what to do with it!

@Allieroon @Mark_L
I hope you’re able to taste it now?
@Allieroon @chipgreen Unfortunately, not much has improved in that category.
@Allieroon @Mark_L
Sorry to hear that.

I still need to finish drinking the magnums from last year, but I like these surprises for getting me something I wouldn’t otherwise get a chance to try.
In for 1 “case”
@simtel20 I haven’t even opened any of the magnums from last year.
@simtel20 @Springbank same

Haven’t bought here in a long time. Hopefully not a case of mystery regret.
How much more are you saving by buying a full case?

Mystery Magnum Plus - $15 = 8.33%
@Mark_L Oh. Whups. Guess I should’ve done some math first.
/giphy warty-deaf-parsley
No where does it say the bottles will be different. The last time I bought, I got 2 mags of one wine and two mags of another, not 4 different ones.
@jmdavidson1 From the “Tasting Notes” at the top of this page:
So maybe the 750s could be the same, but not the mags.
@rpstrong Yes. I have little faith in the shipping department. Too many screw ups on the mystery offers.
@jmdavidson1 @rpstrong the design is to have all different bottles in the “case”. WD
@rpstrong @Winedavid59 Ok. Will reconsider. Thanks.

@MitchBenson I’d probably say premium priced, not overpriced.

Wow, I think i was the 1st to order. “Priceless-Pleasing-Cod”. Comments weren’t even up yet.
@forlich actually a nice cod dish sounds good right now.
@forlich
The purchase formerly known as “First Sucker”!
Previous offer. The price and expected value are both a bit higher this time around. UC cross pollination, perhaps?
https://casemates.com/forum/topics/mystery-magnum-plus
@hscottk sorry, I’m a bit late or slow. What is UC?
I only know University of California, where I went.
@pmarin Last year WD resurrected the defunct Underground Cellars. That tends to be higher end stuff, so I was wondering if some of those bottles made it into this offer.
still debating if I should
@user12967694 Enabler here. You know you want to . . .
Oh jeez…I tried to can, but I can’t even. Such a sucker for Mystery’s & Mag’s…especially Mystery Mags!
@Allieroon fearing-ambulatory-tray
Gah, I really want to buy but I’m leaving town on the 20th. I ain’t risking it. womp womp.
I think you can now have it sent to a UPS store and held for up to 7 or 10 days, know it’s late, but you got a bit of time to check it out.
@winecaseaholic In fact, last month (when 9 cases of Casemates/Last Bottle Summer hold ended) I was gone for almost three weeks…and I pulled off the following (combo of UPS & FedEx)…
@Allieroon @winecaseaholic and on the Seventh Day you rested? With wine.

Ready to hear what everyone got! This should be fun!
